“Krystal is such an attentive and caring sitter for my cat Zuko! He’s usually shy around other people but he always greets and happy to see Krystal ! She also gets the best pictures of Zuko for the Rover cards!”
“Jenni did an amazing job with our kitties while we were out of town! She was prompt and sent great pictures and updates, and I always felt that they were being very well cared of. I will definitely use her again!”
“Having Romy care for Molly felt like our favorite aunt coming to visit—bringing love, treats, and so much joy. Molly adored her from the moment they met! If you’re looking for the perfect house sitter who will treat your pets and home like family, look no further. Romy is simply the best, and we’ll absolutely be booking her again!”
“Marianne was great! She was super punctual which was important since both my kitties needed meds twice a day. She sent me updates and pics and was so sweet to my babies. Thank you so much. Highly recommended. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Sandy is the best!! I have zero worries about my Lily girl when I leave town. Sandy always treats Lily like her own and makes sure the routine is stable and consistent, which helps Lily have less anxiety while I’m away. As always, THANK YOU Sandy for all you do!”
“Ariela took great care of our kitties while we were away, they seemed to warm up to her quickly and I loved the photos she sent everyday. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future when we go out of town!”
“Marissa has been so helpful! Our puppy is so energetic, so young, and honestly a handful and Marissa has more than kept up. She makes sure our pup is cared for and she keeps us updated with everything that happens, we feel so comfortable with her around Winston. He can be a little needy, and truthfully so is his dad (lol) and she has been happy to help with all of our specific instructions. We couldn’t have had a better experience!”
“Emily is so amazing! I can’t reccomend her enough! She was thorough and communicative and took the best care of our girl! Will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you Emily! 🩷🐶”
“We booked Nicole for last-minute drop-in visits for our dogs, and she truly saved us. She was quick to respond, always on time, and so kind with our pups. She sent photos and updates each visit, which made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Our dogs adored her, and we would happily book with Nicole again.”
“Ted was awesome! We met beforehand to introduce him to our two dogs. Ted was instantly a hit with them so we scheduled 3 drop-in visits for 6 days and the dogs were perfectly taken care of, including daily walks and playtime. My dogs loved Ted so much that I didn't get one spiteful poop from my little dog in his secret, "I'm-mad-you-left-me", spot. Ted also sent photos and comprehensive updates through the Rover app after each visit. I will definitely be booking with Ted again.”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals for many years and understand that every pet has unique needs and personalities. I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I live in the Wilton Manors area and look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! Please check my calendar for my most up-to-date availability. I’m flexible and typically available for the daytime, evenings, and overnight stays to fit your pet’s needs. I always prioritize safety, carefully follow each owner’s instructions, and maintain your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in loving hands.
“Catherine was amazing with a Ripley, and made sure to send all kinds of photos. When I returned home, Ripley was in great spirits, and in great health. I was so happy with Catherine and her services, and I know Ripley has found another family member.”
“We really appreciate Shannon being available for a last minute trip the week of Thanksgiving! And as always for taking great care of the kitties with awesome communication and lots of pics!”
“Marta was great! She took such good care of our cat, giving him his medicine and taking care of a last minute first aid issue that came up. We will definitely rebook!”
“Alexandrea is very communicative and she's great with my pup. What more could you ask for? I've hired her multiple times, and I would definitely use her help again :)”
“Briana has been great with my mini Australian Shepherd puppy. Very reliable, she gives updates throughout the visit and follows any instructions I give her. Highly recommend!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I grew up surrounded by them, and now I care for 8 of my own—1 dog, 6 cats, and a bearded dragon. My pets are truly my whole world. I have experience with animals of all ages, from playful puppies and kittens to senior pets requiring special care. One of my cats had diabetes, and I lovingly administered insulin twice a day, along with other medications. I understand how much your pets mean to you, and I treat every animal I care for like family I only work on the weekends, which gives me open availability and full commitment to caring for your pets with lots of love and attention. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, they’ll receive plenty of love, affection, and exercise. I have a large grassy field right next to my apartment or I use the sniff spot app where I can rent a backyard for as long as I need where dogs can walk, run, and play and even swim to burn off energy! If your pet is staying in my home, I do ask that they be crate trained, as I have cats and want to ensure everyone’s safety if I need to step out. That said, if your pet is well-behaved around cats, I’m completely comfortable letting them sleep outside of the crate and making them feel right at home.

we could not be happier with our booking with Jennifer, she cared for our 2 cats like they were her own. the communication was excellent, she provided a summary of her check in along with beautiful pictures every visit. 10/10!!!! highly recommend this sitter!!
Krystal was everything you could ask for in an animal watcher. She was a pleasure to meet, from that point forward I knew I picked the right watcher for my two cats. The daily pictures shows the happiness she brought Ramon and Judas. I know when the time come for another watcher, its gonna be Krystal
Stacey was wonderful with Abby and Roxy during her drop-in visits! She sent regular updates and pictures, which gave me total peace of mind. Both cats warmed up to her quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
I was really worried about booking any pet sitter because my older kitty was just diagnosed with early kidney disease. Sammie needs to be fed a special diet in a separate room from my other cat (who will eat anything and everything!). Courtney was extremely caring with both of my kitties and followed instructions perfectly. If I could give 10 stars I would and I definitely will hire Courtney for my next trip.
Page was excellent! She was super communicative, handled everything like a pro, took AMAZING photos of my boy, and handled my OCD with the litter like we’ve known each other forever! I have literally not had a better experience with anyone on Rover. She stayed extra, loved Loki like her own, and was generally so so amazing. She helped my anxiety with leaving him for so long! Could not have been a better fit. Page is top notch and I will be booking with her for the foreseeable future, even some walks with Loki! Thank you again, Page!!!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Kayla. She is great with our two cats, including our elderly cat who needs medication, and we feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her care. They clearly enjoy her visits and are relaxed and happy when we get home. We especially appreciate the photos and updates she sends—it really gives us peace of mind to know she’s keeping such a close eye on them. We would absolutely recommend her!
Genesis was an amazing sitter. She loved my kitties like they were her own. Showering them with love, pets, attention, and always kept me updated with lots of photos and videos. She also helped with up-keeping my plants while I was away. I completely recommend her to any cat parent ❤️
I just returned from my trip and I’m hoping I am typing correctly here but I just wanted to say that Ashley was THE PERFECT sitter for my sweet boy cat. I was able to book her at the last minute and she not only came to my rescue but surpassed all my expectations for what one looks for in a cat sitter. She automatically sent me photos & a video, and asked all the right questions to help aid in taking care of Sachi. I couldn’t have been more pleased with her service and I’m hoping to book her in the future. I loved her care & concern to details and to Sachi’s safety. Ashley was awesome.
Tammy was amazing with Foma. She was attentive, patient, and handled his curious, playful personality so well (including his love for treats and getting into everything). She kept a close eye on him, took great pictures, and even brought him toys he loved. We felt completely at ease knowing Foma was in such good hands and would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Lauderdale-by-the-Sea on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,134 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Lauderdale-by-the-Sea. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
